Outlook count incoming emails - vba

I need a way to get a daily count incoming emails into the INBOX before they get filed into sub-folders. Other than manually counting them, is there a known automated solution?

You can count the number of email received by following the steps given in this link :
http://www.outlook-tips.net/tips/count-total-number-messages-received-today/.
These links can also be useful :
1)http://email.about.com/od/outlooktips/qt/See_Total_Not_Just_Unread_Inbox_Message_Count_in_Outlook.htm
2) http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/rules/count-received-emails/

In the search field type "received:today"
The count of items will appear in the bottom left corner.

Outlook/VBA - find UID in Subject and run search for UID in Mail items

I've been in and out of so many Microsoft docs and forums SEARCHING for the answer, I figured I'd just ask.
Long story short - I want to write a macro that, with an email highlighted in the main/mail pane in Outlook ...
Searches the subject line of the email for the case number/UID (always a four digit year, hyphen, and a six digit number, e.g., 2019-012345); and then
runs a basic search (not Advanced Find) in my inbox and all subfolders for any email with that UID in the subject line or body.
I'd offer a jumping off point but Outlook doesn't have a record macro function.
Functionally speaking ... my Outlook search option is set to include results from all folders. I hit Ctrl-E and type in the UID and hit enter to search. Would love to reduce that to one key stroke
Does the code have to get into DASL and MAPI? The extent of my VBA knowledge goes to user forms and template letters so ... I'm in way over my head.

get positions to be saved in delivery via ABAP

I am trying to check if positions in a delivery which is changed via the transaction vl02n fulfill some specific critiria before the document is saved.
For this action I want to use the user exit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE.
In the debugger I checked which tables and variables are accessible and found out that there is a global table XLIPS which contains all positions that are visible on the current to be saved delivery.
The problem is that in XLIPS there are also the positions which were already deleted at the GUI of vl02n.
Because I just want to check the positions which indeed will be saved I don't want to use the table XLIPS.
How could I solve this problem and is there a better way than using XLIPS?
Thank you very much for your help and please excuse my bad english.
XLIPS contains the change information of all delivery items upon saving. So if you delete a line, XLIPS will still hold the deleted line, with the field XLIPS-UPDKZ set to D - indicating that the line has been deleted (or I inserted or U updated). With this in mind, you should be able to program your checks against the relevant items accordingly:
LOOP AT xlips ... WHERE updkz NE 'D'.
<your code here>
ENDLOOP.

MS Access | How to get content from mail body to table?

I am working on a project where I need to get ms access table/data from mail body and execute some command in SAP. I can manage SAP part but issue is that how to get information from mail body. i tried linking my mailbox in access but it shows me all mail body text but i need some specified contents only. example
Hello,
Please supplement budget
WBS Amt
N.10002077.001 1
from above what i need is just "N.10002077.001" and "1" ,but how to get that information only in table is the issue?
Further, what I will get in my mail will be table with 2 column but access imports it as a simple text.
It is impossible to give a definite answer to your question because it is too vague but it is possible to get you started.
Have a look at this answer of mine: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12146315/973283. The question is not relevant other than the OP did not understand that showing screenshots told us little about what the body looked like to a VBA macro. The answer includes a macro that copies selected properties from every email in Inbox to an Excel worksheet. This will allow you to see what an email’s body looks like to a VBA macro.
How will you identify the emails from which you wish to extract data? The two simple choices are:
Look at every email in a folder and identify the interesting one by examining the subject, sender or some other property.
Select the interesting emails then run a macro which uses ActiveExplorer to access the selected emails.
The answer referenced above demonstrates technique 1. There are lots of answers demonstrating technique 2 but I can add an example macro if necessary.
An email typically has an Html body and a text body. If an email has an Html body, that is the one shown to the user. A macro can access either or both. Your screen shot looks like a text body although appearances can be deceptive. If it is a text body, the email does not have an Html body.
If it is a text body, the layout of the body is probably something like:
Hello,{cr}{lf}
Please supplement budget{cr}{lf}
WBS{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}Amt{cr}{lf}
N.10002077.001{tab}{tab}1{cr}{lf}
This assumes, the sender has used variable numbers of tabs to line up the columns.
You could use Split on vbCr & vbLf to convert the string body into an array of strings with one line per array entry. Discard lines up to and including the line starting “WBS” then process each line down to any signature. Split each line on vbTab and expect to find two entries with values with the rest blank.
See how far you can get with the above hints then clarify your answer if you need more information.

VBA: Code within INI file

I am currently making a Macro that can send out a bunch of emails with attachments all at once. I did this in outlook, but I'd like to redo it within Excel, so any user can simply press a button on the spreadsheet and it emails out the reports. My issue is certain reports have a special subject for example (Cabana Arrivals till (6 months from date)) in outlook I simply put dateadd("M",6,Date) after the subject my issue is I don't want to 'hard code' this within the loop. My question is when VBA reads the INI file, is there anyway to make the key's data active? So when it reads this key:
Special Instructions=format(dateadd("M",6,date), "MM/DD/YYYY")
the subject will now be "Cabana Arrivals Till 04/07/2016" or is there a totally different way I need to look at this? Any help is appreciated wasn't sure on how to even find the answer to this as I've never heard of doing it before.
Date add would be the only function used so create a key called 'subject date add' and set it equal to the interval (m,d,y) and the # of days/months/year. It should look like ('subject date add' = m,6) split on , and remove spaces for date grab the files modify date. If key does not exist skip.

Development DropDowns List error on empty value

I have a simple dropdown list named DD8. It uses 50 rows as control, the problem is that for now only 45 rows are used. That means that in the dropdown list there are 5 empty rows. The problem is that if someone select one empty row, or don't select anything (default is empty) the fallowing code will show error :
With Worksheets(1)
NameProf = .DropDowns("DD8").List _
(.DropDowns("DD8").ListIndex)
End With
I tried things like if .DropDowns("DD8").List (.DropDowns("DD8").ListIndex) != "" but ofc, it shows error. I searched how to select only used rows with the DropDown list of the development tab but it doesn't seem to be possible.
I have to select 50 rows because new customers can be added.
Do you know how it can be achieved ?
If new customers can be added, then I imagine, and hope for you, that it goes above 50.... so it's not just an issue of having 5 blanks for now to not be an option, but also allowing customers 50-2,483 also be on there when they come along. ---- Without more details on your code, I believe this suggestion should help 'guide' you but not immediately solve your issue.
Essentially, whenever you call to have your dropdown populated, you want some code to find the last row of data in the customers column, and then assign your dropdown to populate with the starting row of your customers to the lastrow. This way no matter how many customers you have 2, 48, 189... they will show in your dropdown without that issue occurring. A simple google search will yield how to find the last row in excel.
Sorry I couldn't just bust out the code to make it work for you right this second, but I think this should be a good starting point for you.
